General Small drama afternoon: people are just now discovering that NTE's dating system only allows you to date women (making it probably the first Chinese yuri gacha)

It's been known in China for a while, since the last beta (in February), but just today a video by iYatoOfficial is getting viral on Twitter and lots of posts gathering over 100k likes in total have brought it to the general public's attention that in NTE you can't date men, but you can date women as female MC.

It's actually a bit of a flirty friendship, but very clearly intended to be seen as dating since the interactions are a bit too intimate. You can set up to 5 girls to date.

While it flew over my head in February (even thought I often browse xhs and bilibili) due to its neutral reception, the negative reception today is really hard to ignore bc it's everywhere if you follow any gacha fanpage, with several reposts and retweets bashing it (and a couple praising it as well).

This is making some people a bit bitter, specially because the info comes to the public attention a week after Mongil's announcement that they won't release more male characters after releasing the game with a small amount of them (https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/s/Fkub1W2Yyh).

Well, at least they aren't baiting their players into playing a game that only caters to male players (and bi/lesbian women, even if by accident and it ends up being patched in the future).

Not saying it isn't but R99 wishes it could get away with stuff like this without it having to be censored/suggested.

You mean the umbrella kiss scene that's literally covered by an umbrella lol?

Still suggested (even if it's really obvious) and obviously censored.

Tell me a famous gacha with a uncensored kiss, any.

Bit late but If Granblue Fantasy count as a "famous gatcha", it has a yuri kiss on screen with a double art to show each of the girl's point of view lol. Their toxic relationship is also central to their characters. (Cupitan and Tristette are the two characters in question).
